Hi to all, I'm not new the industry. I am however just not that experienced. I know my common sense and practice will help me. I pretty much grew up in a salvage yard. Angelini & Groff. My pop(grandpa) and his brother started in umpteen years ago. I rod around with him a couple years when I was a kid(around 5-7). Best memories of my life pretty much. This has been something I have always wanted to do. So I am doing it. I have been in the auto industry all my life so far(43 now). Repair shops, body shops, transmission shops, dealers, and salvage yards. At 25 I quit working for people. I just don't get along. And started my own repair shop. It has been going alright, I just wanted something more. A friend of the family who purchased a salvage yard(Gunzenhauser's) sold the yard and just towed. He is now 82 and still towing. He sold me his 79 f350 with a Holmes 1100 Trooper, and manual wheel lift, and his 89 dodge d350 Cummins with an original American Wheel lift system(Eagle Claw). I do have a 1990 Weldbilt Ramrod II( its not mounted to anything at the moment). That is me for now. The were to start part. Were would I find info on my Eagle claw, or ask about it. I believe Miller won't have anything for what I need. I need very specific info. I have lots of accessories for mine. It took me about an hour to figure out what they all went to. Today by accident, I found the dang manual. I am missing a set of forks, no biggie there, a wrench not at the moment. The other piece I really want is the bumper outriggers, for side pulling. Hopefully someone has one with this optioned. Thanks all.
